title: [Treatment of type C pelvic fracture with Stoppa approach and posterior percutaneous plate fixation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical effects of Stoppa approach and posterior percutaneous plate in treating type C pelvic fracture.
  
  
  METHODS
  From June 2009 to July 2011,16 patients with type C pelvic fracture were treated with reconstruction plate fixation in Stoppa approach for anterior lesions combined with posterior percutaneous plate fixation for posterior lesions.There were 11 males and 5 females,with an average age of 38.8 years (ranged, 22 to 59 years). According to the Tile classification,10 cases belonged to C1,4 belonged to C2,2 belonged to C3. Tometta and Majeed score standards were used to evaluate clinical results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sixteen patients were followed up from 4 to 13 months with an average of 7.3 months. Operative time was from 80 to 140 min with an average of 100 min;blood loss volume was from 200 to 500 ml with an average of 280 ml; and the healing time of fracture was from 12 to 16 months with an average of 14 months. According to the Tometta score classification, 9 cases got excellent results, 6 good, 1 fair. According to the Majeed score classification, 9 cases obtained excellent results, 5 good, 2 fair.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reconstruction plate fixation in Stoppa approach for anterior lesions combined with posterior percutaneous plate fixation for posterior lesions is an ideal minimally invasive operation in treaing type C pelvic fracture. It can early exercise and has the advandages of small trauma, safe operaton,less complication, stable fixation.
